Airball: Miami newspaper runs ad congratulating Heat on winning title

To Dewey defeats Truman, add James defeats Nowitkzi — at least in the Miami Herald’s world.

As if things weren’t miserable enough for the Heat and their fans today, the Miami New Times blog gleefully reports that the Herald ran a nearly full-page Macy’s ad congratulating LeBron James and his teammates for winning the NBA title, and hawking championship T-shirts and hats.

To make the error even more stunning, the ad is on an NBA Finals page, with a story about how the Heat never got it together. Neither did the Herald, apparently.

The Mavericks beat the Heat 105-95 in Game 6 of the NBA finals on Sunday in Miami to win the series 4-2.
